Before we get into forgiveness, I need to tell you about Bioutopia – Consciousness in Transformation, because this is your future. It begins soon and runs only once a year, just after the holidays. Space is limited, so register soon. It’s the greatest gift you can give yourself this year. The course is in Hebrew. Find details and register here: https://lp.smoove.io/th59
Forgiveness isn’t a choice, and it isn’t the main goal. Real forgiveness grows out of a healing process, and it can’t be forced, especially not on yourself. There’s no point in presenting yourself as open-minded, understanding, mature and accepting, then declaring, “I’ve forgiven,” when inside you’re still bleeding and want to set someone on fire.
Forgiveness is a byproduct of healing. Focus on your own healing, and forgiveness will come spontaneously as part of the process.
Forgiveness begins when you can look with compassion at the people who hurt you, no matter how deeply. When you can see them with compassion, you stop being a victim. You let go of thoughts rooted in self-pity: “Poor me. Why did they do this to me? Why do I deserve this?”
Instead, you respond: “Thank you for bringing me this lesson. Thank you. I’m nobody’s victim. I’m not angry, and I’m not hurting. I understood the lesson. Thank you.”
We don’t want to be people who struggle to forgive. We want to forgive quickly, to refuse to let everything hurt us or every word offend us. That’s who we want to be and how we want to live.
Listen in and find out how it’s done.
